Yeah, probably somewhere...I think they may be in the basement, in storage!

Seriously, this was only a exhaust manifold change (to headers, so he lost the cats)...the front resonators were retained. Imagine if it didn't even have those in place!

Those aren't resonators they are secondary catalytic converters. And if you take those out without resonators it will sound horrid.

I hope you got tuned as well.

Not my car, I'll have to ask the customer what software he's running.

You put headers on a customers car without making sure he got a tune? Also now knowing that you did the work and it's not your car and you don't even know they are cats is kind of O_o.

The car belongs to "killjohhnyforan"... he is a member here on zpost. He has the ESS race software with the delete of the secondary 02 sensors. I don't think the guys at rogue engineering did the install of the headers.... from I have heard it was done by a shop on long island.

I am excited to hear what your car sounds like..... your running the stock rear cans with AA headers right?

That's better then, sometimes I'm dumbfounded by what some shops do. And yes, it was nice, but has developed a lot more rasp over the past week or two. I still need to get someone to do a pull while im outside to get a good idea.

There are some videos here somewhere, though those never really work really.
